Definitely got potential, mi amigo...and I like to use of the subtle taunt, "and Ashcroft don't care". Of course, I realize that this may indicate that you are now somehow "anti-Ashcroft" in some of the more fervent BushBacker packs that roam this Forum, looking for prey...however, you--and I--would certainly love to see those words changed to "and Ashcroft does care...'cuz Ashcroft's Justice...is the Final Justice!!"
OTOH, your mistake was in not naming the song's original Artiste's name directly under the revised title...this is good in two ways...first, it gives proper accreditation to the Artiste who inspired you to such brilliance. Second, it helps folks like me understand the motivation behind your offering. I've developed the habit of immediately running to my vast CD collection and pulling out the proper CD, then popping in it to the CD player and playing the song while I read your version...I know I oughtsta know, but who sings "Ticket to Ride"?
FReegards, and I look forward to further efforts being posted--or linked, your call--to this thread. That goes for anyone else out there as well. THE ISSUE IS JUSTICE!!
FReegards...MUD
